Anyone have any opinions on Ted Roethke's work?

I haven't delved too much into him, but he's the most famous poet from my area; probably one of the most significant canonized poets from Michigan generally.

Are there writers writing about moving to governing forms closer to a direct democracy?
Technically speaking, moving towards the individual, through constant connectivity and mobile computing power, gaining more control over decisions in his country/city/neighborhood/working place.

I am interested in the theoretical backbone of such ideas. How are decisions to be divided into political or technical?
for example, a city building a new neighborhood in x spot can be considered both a technical question and a political question.
How does a more direct democracy decide on responsibility circles since not everyone wants or can make decisions about every minute thing happening in his country/society.


Would appreciate books or academics that have examined or are examining such questions.

I remember back a long time ago when someone used to make these threads and I thought they brought a lot of good ideas and short works out of this board.

This is a very long shot. On saturday Waterstones had all their clearance books reduced to £1. Does anyone know if any Waterstones in the midlands had stock remaining at close on sunday evening?

I picked a couple up, but the majority was stuff I've never heard of and didn't take a punt on. I'm regretting that a bit now and want to fill my bookshelf out for the next year.

The seemed to be rotating stock out slowly, as I managed to grab The Last Tycoon on my way out and it definitely wasn't there when I came in.
